Hello, Here is my problem. I need to make 3d annimations using 3ds figures. The animated figure frames must be saved in bmp format for use with another program. These figures will need to be articulated including mouth movements. I would like to purchase this cd: http://www.animfactory.net/objects.html that had the kind of figures I need for my project. I have purchased poser 4 , but am finding it not sutiable without pro pack and other stuff. Does bryce let you do these things? where can I get it and how much does it cost. thank you

Bryce costs $300 for the recently released version 5 (released July 11) Although it's features are incredible, it isn't suitable for your needs. Animations from Poser cannot be imported to Bryce. For what you are talking about you would be better off buying pro pack and what ever else you need. Pro Pack I believe is about $200. By going this route you would save yourself a lot of headaches trying to work with mix and match programs. Good luck on your project. Boni

Animation can be imported from Poser to Bryce but you need to buy my ~$50 utility for it. Check out www.datamike.com/susu.htm You need to do the mouth movements etc. in Poser and them import the anim in to Bryce for rendering.
